See through their dim and lifeless eyes,
Rotting through the hopes and dreams that i...
Can't bear to let go,
They won't let me go.

Cold grip held tightly to my wrist,
They slow decay burns through my heart so quickly...
Tonight there's no hope,
It's time that we show...

We won't go down, no.
Not like the others.
They feed the need but,
Never the hunger.

Wake me from the living dead-beat life that drags me down.
(on my way up) can't break me down
(on my way up) can't break me.
Save me from the living dead-beats,
They pull me underground.
(on my way up) can't take me down
(on my way up)can't take me.

The moon crests and spills over the scene,
Running for my life,
They're onto me...
There's blood on their hands,
Like wolves to the lamb.

No trace of love or sympathy,
The awful truth they were once like me...
Tonight they will haunt the dreams of the young.

We won't go down, no.
Not like the others.
They feed the need but,
Never the hunger.

Wake me from the living dead-beat life that drags me down.
(on my way up) can't break me down
(on my way up) can't break me.
Save me from the living dead-beats,
They pull me underground.
(on my way up) can't take me down
(on my way up)can't take me.

There's no medicine for people like them,
No cure for the kill,
No fix for the dead.
This is our enemy,
Won't let them kill the dream.

Wake me from the living dead-beat life that drags me down.
(on my way up) can't break me down
(on my way up) can't break me.
Save me from the living dead-beats,
They pull me underground.
(on my way up) can't take me down
(on my way up) can't take me.
(on my way up) can't take me down
(on my way up) can't take me.
(on my way up) can't take me down
(on my way up) can't take me.
